| The '''Flag of [[Sri Lanka]]''', also called the '''Lion Flag''', consists of gold lion passant, holding a [[sword]] in its right fore paw, in front of a crimson background with four golden [[Bo tree|bo]] leaves in each corner. Around the background is a yellow border, and to its left are two vertical stripes of equal size in saffron and green, with the saffron stripe closest to the lion.

| | |
| It became the flag in 1950 following the recommendations of a committee appointed by the 1st Prime Minister of Sri Lanka D.S. Senanayake.
